FA100 Description
Most of the time, users need to reconnect PSTN line to analog
telephone to make it work when the PBX Sever faces a power failure. It
may cause only a little extra work for people who use simple and small
PBX servers. But for those who run complex PBXs in server rooms, it
becomes real problems.
How to eliminate this problem? The release of OpenVox FA100
failover box solves it. The FA100 can automatically switch the PSTN line
to analog telephone when the power of the PBX server has been cut off
and will automatically switch back to normal when the power is on again.
In this way, you will no more need to worry whether the power is cut off.
FA100 is controlled through an Asterisk loadable module
res_failover.so. This module keeps sending “running” signal to FA100
when Asterisk is running. Once Asterisk is down or system power is cut
off, the module will not be able to send out the “running” signal, thus
FA100 will automatically switch to the standby telephone.
FA100 provides a reliable and flexible solution to Asterisk PBX.
